Hi, Nicola! What’s coming up for your character on Emmerdale?
“I’m about to start filming more stuff with Bradley Riches [aka Lewis] at the café. Bradley’s an absolute dream. I love that Nicola’s this cantankerous old cow, and he’s this sweet, young, pretty male, but it all works.”
What would you like to see for Nicola and Lewis?
“We’ve been asking when we are getting a makeover at the café interior! Get all your readers to write in. Everybody who comes in says, ‘Have you seen your prices? They look like they were set, like, 15 years ago!’”
